I don't this was fair at all. Ferrari had the 1-2 win in the bag and there was no need for Shumacher to win, he was already 29 points ahead of second place man Montoya (I think), that's almost 3 race wins! If Ferrari just want to win it shouldnt really matter who wins out of their 2 drivers.
This is what makes F1 boring, all the race comes down to is pit stops and team orders. There is no real point in working really hard from Formula 3000 and all the others and then finaly your dream has come true and your in Formula one and then when you have dominated a race and are about to win you are not allowed to.
Then after the race when Shumacher finished the race a couple of metres in front of Barichello he was waving his hand around feeling proud as if he had won the race hinself. It was only when he got to the podium and heared the crown booing that he looked like he was embarassed and then he gave Rubens the trophey and put him up to First place spot on the podium just so that he would stay popular.
But to make it less obvious they could have made Barichello slow down a little a few laps before the end. Or they could have added a few seconds onto a pit stop to make it look like Michael won it himself but it would still be really unfair on Barichello.
I hope there is some action taken on the Ferrari team for what they did.
Thanks.
